Refund Runner – Booking Policies & Terms

These Booking Policies outline the terms and conditions under which Refund Runner provides return pickup and drop-off services. By scheduling a pickup with us, you agree to the following:

1. Service Windows

  • Standard pickups are completed anytime between 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM on the scheduled date (within ~10 miles of pickup address).

  • Rush/Priority service (+$10) guarantees same-day pickup if booked before 12:00 PM.

​

2. Items & Drop-Offs

  • Each pickup includes up to 5 items and 1 drop-off location.

  • Additional items are charged at $3 per item.

  • Additional stops are charged at $12 each (same route). Off-route stops may require a custom quote.

  • Oversized/Heavy Items – Packages weighing more than 25 lbs or requiring two people to lift may incur an additional handling fee of $15 per item. Please notify us in advance if you have oversized or unusually heavy items so we can plan accordingly.

​

4. Customer Responsibilities

  • Customers must provide all required QR codes and/or labels prior to pick up (unless a printing service has been added on the booking form).

  • Refund Runner is not responsible for errors, invalid codes, or system issues generated by Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS, or other third-party platforms. 

  • Items must be ready at the scheduled pickup time and safely packaged if required by the carrier. For package-less pickups, items must be in the original packaging and re-sealed.

  • The customer must be reachable at the phone number provided in case of issues at pick-up or drop-off.

  • Customers are encouraged to upload a photo of each item with its coordinating QR code or label attached when booking. This helps confirm the correct return details and avoids issues at drop-off. Refund Runner is not responsible for items submitted with incorrect or mismatched QR codes/labels.

​

5. Undeliverable Packages

  • If a package cannot be delivered due to an invalid or non-working QR code/label, or because store staff cannot process it:

    • Refund Runner will attempt to contact you immediately in-store to resolve the issue.

    • If you are unreachable, we will continue to make multiple attempts to contact you within 24 hours to resolve the issue and re-drop off your package at another designated drop-off location along the driver’s route.

    • If you have not contacted us within 24 hours of the first attempted drop-off, your package will be returned to you.

    • A Return Trip Fee of $10 applies for bringing the package back. Your item will be redelivered once this fee has been paid via Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.

    • Refund Runner will hold the package for up to 7 days after the originally scheduled drop-off. If the fee is not received within this time, the item will be donated to a local charity.

    • Customers may reschedule a new drop-off at the standard rate once the QR code/label issue has been resolved.

​

  • Payments are due in full before service is rendered.

  • Accepted payment methods: Zelle, Venmo, PayPal.

  • All payments are non-refundable.

  • Pickups may be rescheduled one time without penalty, provided Refund Runner is notified within the required 24-hour time frame.

​

8. Liability & Limitations

    • Delays, errors, or lost packages once an item has been accepted by UPS, FedEx, USPS, Amazon, or other carriers.
